	<h3>Updating Subscriptions</h3>
	
	<h4>How to update a single subscription</h4>
	<p>
	To update a single subscription select it in the feed list
	and select "Update" or "Update Folder" from the program 
	menu or the context menu from within the feed list.
	</p>
	
	<h4>How to update all feeds at once</h4>
	<p>
	To update all subscriptions at once use the "Refresh" button from 
	the toolbar or the option "Update All" from the "Subscriptions"
	menu.
	</p>
	
	<h4>Using Auto Update</h4>

	<p>
	To automatically update all subscriptions you can set a global
	update interval with the resolution of one minute. To do so
	you have to use the preferences dialog. To learn more about
	this refer to the <a href="preferences_en.html">Program Preferences</a>
	section.
	</p>

	<p>
	If you like to have some subscriptions to be updated more or
	less frequently than the global default update interval you
	can set an per-subscription update interval in the subscription
	properties. To do so select a subscription from the feed list 
	and select "Properties" from the "Feed" menu or the contextual 
	menu. Note: you should not update a feed more often 
	then the content is changing. Think of the web traffic some 
	thousands of clients polling each minute could create!
	</p>

	<p>
	To help with the decision for a good update interval some 
	subscriptions provide an own update interval. When you create a 
	new subscription this value will be set as the default update interval. 
	This setting will overrule the global default update interval. 
	</p>
		
	<h4>Updating all feeds on program startup</h4>

	<p>
	On startup Liferea automatically updates all out-dated subscriptions.
	If you don't like this you can disable this behaviour in the 
	program preferences. To learn more about this refer to the 
	<a href="preferences_en.html">Program Preferences</a> section.
